I'm 46 and I've had a Citicard since I was 21, so 25 years. I haven't been using it much, so I'm not important to Citicard, despite my long, long history. I canceled it today and told them I didn't want to spend $2400 a year just to not lose $60 when I can use my Discover card and MAKE $60 (at 2% cash back.) They couldn't argue with that. The woman was polite and so was I, but it's disgusting that they didn't even try to keep my business. I also have always paid my bill in full and have a credit score of over 800. Maybe not now, since I've canceled this card with a long history. Stupid, stupid Citibank. I hope they fail. Hey Moby – I’m right there with you.

I haven't used the card for a while now because I was tired of receiving the bill in the mail three days before the due date - don't know if they still try that gambit. When I called to cancel the account, the Indian fellow was somewhat rude - perhaps he was tired of getting calls to cancel accounts. I was promised a verification letter within 5 to 7 days; I still have not received the letter after 3 weeks. So, I mailed a letter to cancel the account (with proof of delivery from USPS). I pretty much don't trust them. I’ve used the citibank card for over 25 years, and also received the annual fee notice; never missed a payment due date, and always paid billing in full.
